Lockerbie
"The
quality of mercy is not strain'd;
It
droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven
Upon
the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It
blesses him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis
mightiest in the mightiest, it becomes the
throned
monarch better than his crown,
His
scepter shows the force of temporal power,
the
attribute to awe and majesty,
wherein
doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But
mercy is above this scepter'd sway,--
It
is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It
is an attribute to God himself;
And
earthly power doth then show likest God's
When
mercy seasons justice."
William
Shakespeare.
"Forgive
and get over it but never forget who did what."
